Simran Hans Observer (UK) For all its good-natured boisterousness, there is the sense that director Michael Caton-Jones is straining to get the tone just-so. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian There is a lot to like here - but there's no escaping how dated some of the material is. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) What's ultimately so joyous about Our Ladies is all the small ways they rebel against their circumstances - while the world wants them to focus on the destination of their lives, they've chosen to revel in the journey. Rated: 4/5 Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online Our Ladies is an awful lot of fun. It’s tremendously well-acted, rebellious and hilarious, with one of the most relatable and genuine group of characters put to screen for a long while Rated: 4/5 Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Mo Muzammal Vague Visages An entertaining but misguided attempt at capturing teenage sexual fever...an uneven and disappointing viewing experience. Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Aine O'Connor Sunday Independent (Ireland) It's bawdy fun, and there are certainly some laughs. However, I have an issue with this story being told by men.

Jim P This is set in the 90s and is a female version of Trainspotting. It's actually great fun!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Sian G Derry Girls this isn't, it's less realistic (not a parent in sight) and less funny. However, although there's obviously a lot less time to develop all the characters in their 1 hour 45 minutes, they were sufficiently compelling for me to happily go on their raucous, madcap journey with them and even re-live just a small bit of my adolescence. It seems they entered some kind of time-warp in Edinburgh with the amount they fitted into their afternoon but suspend belief for a wee while and enjoy the convincing acting of an afternoon hilariously spent. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Vic L Derry girls with biteI loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review isla s This is a pretty solid film about a smallish group of teenage students from a Catholic school who are lucky enough to go on a school trip to Edinburgh to perform as a choir at an event but the film isn't about the singing, its about the friendship and camaraderie between the girls. It's fair to say the film features a lot of frank sexual references and strong language, so be aware of that, if it's something that would either embarrass or offend you. It's a depiction of teenage freedom, not long before the characters would have to get out into the world and hold their own as it were, so I guess its a bit of a coming of age tale. I didn't think a great amount of it until the end, almost literally. The final scene I thought was quite poignant - we get quick text based updates about what happened to each of the characters after the events of the film, which makes it somewhat thoughtful. It's a film that reflects the time its set in pretty well (the 1990s), with the female characters being quite ladette-ish, probably as a response to the strict Catholic life their expected to live, being students of a Catholic based school. I found one scene in which one of the nuns, a teacher/member of staff, orders the students to step away from a window, funny due to the reaction they make when they see what was being looked at. This is a good film to watch if you'd like a little nostalgia of the 1990s I suppose, yes. It has some amusing moments and by the very end it has a poignancy to it too, so yes, I'd recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review toby h Our Ladies offers something relatable to us all around the complexities of teenage friendships. Gritty, humorous and real, with affection too, just like Derry Girls. These ladies have big futures ahead.
